Bottle from Sir Toby's, Norwich. Black with a huge light tan head and rather a strong fizz for the style. Coffee and chocolate against a fruity background of blackcurrant and dates with a touch of fresh leafy hop. Smooth and full-bodied for the low abv. Mildly roasted finish that balances the semi-sweet beer well. Very nice porter, could maybe just reduce the fizz a tad.

On tap at Hop Stuff Tap room Ashford. Hazy cloudy red deep and brown. Lasting beige head. A bit earthy on aroma. Yes better in mouth with some OK malts some red jammy strawberry fruit. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Decent in mouth if a little earthy up front.
